Description

A Description in Coalesce Catalog is text documentation on an asset: tables, columns, dashboards, terms, and other objects. Descriptions can come from extraction, manual edits, or Sync back from other tools.

Good descriptions explain business meaning, grain, refresh expectations, and known caveats. Catalog surfaces descriptions in search, asset pages, and AI Assistant context.

For Coalesce Transform customers, descriptions can flow between Catalog and Transform so warehouse comments stay aligned with version-controlled Node metadata after deploy.

See Knowledge Pages for documentation practices and Sync Back for Transform workflows.
